He must put on his own clothes. He must leave the holy place. Then he must sacrifice the burnt offerings. They will make atonement for himself and for the people. And he must also burn the fat from the sin offering on the altar. 26The person who sent the goat away must wash his clothes and his body. He can return to the camp. 27Aaron had killed a bull and a goat. He took their blood into the Most Holy Place to make atonement. Someone must carry their dead bodies outside the camp. He must burn them. That man must burn the skin, the meat and the inside parts.
